A River Runs Through It - Loving Without Perfect Understanding

I have lost people whom I loved but did not understand.

But that doesn't keep me from loving them without perfect understanding. It occurs to me, this is the definition of faith - not to have a perfect knowledge of things. But still to love.

Do we understand perfectly a painful separation which is then severed forever, a person who turns away never to return, an organic break of heart so real and so sorrowed as to feel near eternal in depth and duration. No we do not. But we can still reach out in love.

And know that God is in charge. That He is at the helm and hath the steerage of our course.
